Hey all you Suite People. I need some insight from people that have been doing this longer than I.
We are looking to implement a Purchase Order Type field on our PO's. Currently, the types we want are Production, Sample, Tooling and Services. We then want to segregate the items that can go on these types by class, and in the case of Production and Sample, by another field called vendor status (full list below). Vendor status is currently on the PO form and PO type will be when I'm done. Item Class is not currently but I can add it if I need to for this to work.
I want to use the same Transaction form for all types if possible. Having said that, I'm questioning if I shouldn't have a different transaction form for each PO type, as there may eventually be different fields required for each type.
I also want the list of Items to be filtered based on the PO Type. I think I would also like the list of vendors available to exclude those with status's that are not on the list below.
Have any of you done something like this in the past? How did you accomplish this? I assume a workflow. Maybe a WF couples with a Saved Search or two. Different forms? I'm looking forward to everyone's input.
